Answer 1

you could if you are extremely careful. Plecos and calm bichir. the eel might pose the problem but i really dont think so. I have a jack dempsey and an african cichlid in with a freshwater "moray" eel and a shovel nose. Just watch their behavior and feed them live food to keep them preoccupied you can get about 2 maybe 3 peaceful medium/small cichlids (i would stick with 1 or 2) . you need a fine substrate such as sand but small gravel should suffice. And absolutely NO OSCARS!!!!!!!

Answer 2

i might anticipate your African Cichlids to final approximately 6mths till now all you have left is the bichir and fireplace eel and the only reason the fireplace eel is surviving is via fact he can cover extraordinarily lots, i might advise that if by ability of African Cichlids your speaking approximately Rift valley then your only going to have the capacity to administration 2 or 3 species of Cichlid interior the tank. Your Bichir and fireplace eel if he have been to proceed to exist might out advance the tank interior of months. it particularly is obviously different than for the certainty that they arrive from differing water types, which mutually as some human beings seem to assert that they'd cope, i might advise that it may be uncomfortable and shorten there existence span drastically.

Answer 3

No Insuffiecient room, wrong water type, and the Bichir will eat everything it can catch.

Answer 4

i would think the cichlids would eat the ell and the bichar would eat everything
